Notes

Lovely design.

Used a textured boucle yarn instead of a faux fur and held it double, larger hook.

Note:
For the legs, rows will ch1, turn don’t need ‘join’ at the end of row.

I didn’t understand the step of r 6 of legs to work between the posts of the dc’s of the previous row. I worked r 6 stitches in the traditional manner.

When I made the nose/head piece, I didn’t get the contouring of the nose. Perhaps my stitches of r 2 & 3 were too loose. I shaped the nose by pulling in the stitches of r 4 invisibly.
